Frequently asked questions
A dofollow link is an ordinary link with no rel attribute that tells search engines to ignore it. Search engines can follow it and treat it as a vote for the page it points to, which is why dofollow links are what most link builders are after.
rel="nofollow" asks search engines not to count the link as an endorsement. Google treats it as a hint. Nofollow links still bring visitors and can still help with brand visibility, but they pass much less (or no) ranking value.
rel="sponsored" marks paid or advertising links, and rel="ugc" marks links in user-generated content such as comments and forum posts. Google treats both as hints, like nofollow. This tool lists them separately so you can see exactly how a link was marked up.
A page can carry a robots meta tag (for example <meta name="robots" content="nofollow">) or an X-Robots-Tag header with nofollow. That applies to every link on the page, even links without their own rel attribute, so the tool shows them all as nofollow and tells you why.
The checker reads the HTML the server sends, the way a simple crawler does. Links that a page adds later with JavaScript will not appear. Anchors that jump within the page (#section), mailto: and tel: links, and javascript: links are skipped on purpose.
Yes. Enter the URL of the page that should contain your link, then use the filter box to type your domain. You will see whether your link is there and whether it is dofollow. Orders on BacklinkCAT are also re-checked automatically for 12 months after completion.
